Project City Love: Volunteer Trip for April 2018

by Ave Maria AbellanosaNovember 6, 2017

In case you haven’t already heard; Ave Mariabell Designs is fundraising for a volunteer trip to help build homes in villages around the globe!!

We are an online retailer, and an advocate for life-changing travel and volunteering abroad. When you purchase a skyline memento from Ave Mariabell Designs, a portion of all proceeds go to our #ProjectCityLove campaign. However, because we are only a small business, often those proceeds are limited and need to be invested into the development of our product and services. This has made raising funds difficult, and so far have only raised enough funds for ONE volunteer to travel to Costa Rica in April 2018.

Please help us raise funds for MORE volunteers from the Toronto art community, to join our mission, and help improve the built environment of communities in Costa Rica. Villages are often the closest form to a “City” for developing communities, and have limited access to metropolitan environments that we are privileged to live in. We aim to make this an annual initiative and help a new village every year.

Below are some images of the latest and greatest products now available at Ave Mariabell Designs. For every product purchased, 10 to 25% of proceeds go to volunteer abroad programs. (Click images below to access the product listings at our online store.)

Our Toronto skyline prints are hand-printed with love. Check out this hand-print mounted on a wooden frame!

If none of these designs interest you, don’t worry! You can still make a difference and donate directly to this link: http://bit.ly/DonateToProjectCityLove. In case you would like to know EXACTLY where these funds are going to, see the break down of costs below:
